Common questions
How does CostMyDish compare to meez or xtraCHEF?+
Enterprise tools like meez and xtraCHEF target multi-location groups with invoice OCR and integrations — often $75+/month and browser-based. CostMyDish is a focused mobile food cost calculator: faster to start, free tier, built for owners who need margin math today.
Do I need a POS integration?+
No. Enter ingredient buy prices and menu selling prices manually. CostMyDish focuses on recipe costing and margin — not inventory or AP automation.
What about food trucks and caterers?+
Same app. Cost combo meals, per-portion catering trays, and à la carte items with multiple selling formats per dish.
